iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

I thought we would make it another week on groceries, but it turns out we need some OTC medications for us, and the prescription flea prevention stuff for Minsk. If anyone can help us out with a few dollars I'd appreciate it. 💕 I'm Mari_who at Ko-fi, @Mart-blair-3 at Venmo

why pay for school photos when, for the low, low price of feeding your own child's sensitive personal information to a machine that churns out child sexual exploitation imagery, you could get a bunch of photos of a creepy waxwork simulacrum of your child instead?

CW: food . . . . . Groceries & $$ running low so dinner was franks n beans. Pressure cooked the beans and made the sauce myself, at least - diced fire-roasted tomatoes, tomato paste, honey BBQ sauce, spicy brown mustard, salt-pepper-garlic, diced onion, cornstarch. Good old Midwest comfort food.
